Pedraza defeats LesPierre on points

Former world champion in two weight categories Jose Pedraza (27-3, 13 KOs) won by unanimous decision over Mikkel LesPierre (22-2-1, 10 KOs) in the main event of the evening in Las Vegas. After ten rounds, the judges scored it 100-88 and 99-89 twice.

During the battle, LesPierre was counted twice. The first time a 35-year-old boxer was on the floor after a series of punches in the fifth round, the second time - after the left hook in the final round. For Pedraza, it was a successful return to the ring after the defeat to Jose Zepeda last year.

At the same evening, Robeisy Ramirez (4-1, 3 KOs) defeated Adan González (5-3-2, 2 KOs) by unanimous decision, thus taking revenge for losing in his professional debut. After six rounds, all the judges counted it 60-54.
